Here is video of GOP Strategist Mary Matalin bantering back and forth with Don Imus today about Gov. Chris Christie and whether he has any plans to run for President in 2012. Both Imus and Matalin love Christie, but neither thinks he will run this time. On running, Matalin said “if you don’t have it in your (there was a slight pause) ….heart and mind.” That’s the only opening Imus needed!

Here is an update on the situation in Libya. Fighting continues in cities not far from the Capital City of Tripoli, where Gadhafi forces are reportedly attacking opponents of the regime. In a move to try and buy time – literally, Gadhafi handed out the equivalent of $415 (300 Euro) in cash to each family in Tripoli. The report also says that the Pentagon is moving U.S. Warships closer to Libya.

Here is video of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker today warning the 14 Democrat State Senators who have fled to Illinois that they must return and vote on the Governor’s “Budget Repair Bill” or there will be “dire consequences.”

Those consequences are layoffs of state workers, which Walker said would be necessary if they are unable to move forward with the budget bill. Walker said layoffs are the last thing he wants to do. But it will be unavoidable if the Democrats refuse to allow the budget process to move forward in order to deal with the state’s $3.6 Billion deficit.

In an interview with ABC’s Christiane Amanpour, Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi says he will not leave Libya. Gadhafi laughed when asked if he would leave, and told Amanpour, “They love me, all my people, they love me all. They will die to protect me, my people.”

Here is video of MSNBC’s Chuck Todd saying President Obama “does not want anything to do with Wisconsin.” In fact, Todd said it seems almost daily the Obama White House “ratchets back the rhetoric” on the situation there.

This won’t sit well with Obama’s buddy at MSNBC Ed Schultz who implored Obama to make a “road trip” to Wisconsin to stand in solidarity with the Unions there. Schultz said Obama did not deserve a 2nd Term as President if he failed to do so.

Here is video of Karl Rove saying President Obama is “way upside-down” in poll numbers on the public’s approval of his handling of the U.S. Economy and the issue of deficits.

Rove was commenting on a recent Rasmussen Poll showing President Obama’s leadership approval rating taking a huge drop from January to February – a 17 point swing.

Rove said he believes that drop is tied to Obama’s incredibly poor numbers on his handling of the U.S. Economy in a recent Gallup Poll – where only 36% approved of the job he is doing while 61% disapproved. On the issue of deficits, it’s even worse – 32% approve while 64% disapprove!

Rove said those two issues are likely to be right at the top of the voting public’s mind all the way through the 2012 Election.

Police at the Wisconsin State Capitol decided last night not to force pro-Union protesters to leave the building, where they have been camped out now for two weeks. Protesters had been told they would have to vacate the building so it could be cleaned. But many of the pro-Union crowd refused to go, and police decided they would not forcibly remove them from the Capitol.

Gov. Scott Walker’s office reportedly declined to comment on the decision to allow the protesters to remain, but did say that Walker’s resolve to push forward with the “Budget Repair Bill” has not weakened in the face of the protests.

Opposition forces continued making gains in Libya today, taking control of the western Libyan town of Zawiyah’s city center. Zawiyah is a strategic refinery town only 50 kilometers from the Capital City of Tripoli where Dictator Moammar Gadhafi appears ready to make his last stand. This report does show that there are people in Libya who are remaining loyal to Gadhafi.

Here is a video report summarizing the results of the 2011 Academy Awards from last night, where “The King’s Speech” won the Oscar for Best Picture. Actor Colin Firth won Best Actor for his role in the film, and it also won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. Natalie Portman took Best Actress for her role in “Black Swan.”

Here is video of Gov. Mike Huckabee on with Chris Wallace today where he said he believes President Obama’s refusal to enforce the “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA) is unconstitutional. Huckabee said it is a very strange precedent for a President to set that he will pick and choose what laws he is going to enforce.

After all – that is one of the primary responsibilities of the Chief Executive of the United States – to enforce the laws. If you don’t like the law, then change it using the constitutional process. But a President cannot just decide not to abide by the Constitution. Americans need to let Obama know that at the ballot box in 2012.

Fox News reporter Mike Tobin gets heckled and hit by pro-union protesters during a live broadcast in Madison, Wisconsin. The protesters chanted “Fox News lies” and covered up the cameras to try to prevent Tobin from being able to do his job.

Here is video of Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour responding to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumpka’s assertion that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is trying to take away the “rights” of the state’s public sector workers.

Barbour very correctly responded to Trumpka by saying “there is no right to this (collective bargaining) under the Constitution.” He also pointed out that Federal Workers have no collective bargaining rights for wages or retirement benefits.

Here is video of Sen. John McCain reacting to a Rolling Stone claim that the U.S. Military used “psy-ops” (psychological operations) on U.S. Senators to manipulate them into providing more funding and support for the war effort.

McCain spent 5 1/2 years as a U.S. Prisoner of War in Vietnam where he endured repeated beatings and torture. He could have left early once the Vietnamese found out his father was an admiral. But he refused to go, adhering instead to code that prisoners should only leave in order of capture.
